Copyright on the web:
When creating a Web page, you CAN: Link to other Web sites.
Be aware some individuals and organizations have specific requirements when you link to their Web material.
You should check a site carefully to find such restrictions. It is wise to ask permission.
You need to cite source, as you are required to do in a research paper, when quoting or paraphrasing material from other sources.
Always free graphics on your Web page. If the graphics are not advertised as “free” they should not be copied without permission.
You can not copy and paste logos, photos, icons, and other graphics from other web sites to your web page
(unless it is clearly advertised as “freeware.” Shareware is not free).
Some will let you use their logos, with permission – it is free advertising. Many companies not approve of all sites who want to use their logo.
